Middle Linebacker
4th Round
South Carolina State
"A four-year player at South Carolina State who never missed a game, Carson is called 'one of the greatest players I've ever coached' by South Carolina State head man Willie Jeffries ... and Jeffries is quick to add that he has also coached Elvin Bethea of Houston and Barney Chavous of Denver.
Carson was a defensive lineman in those years, led the team in tackles as a soph with 92, and in his junior and senior years was the MVP of the Mid-East Conference, won Little All-American honors from the AP and was named first team Black All-American by the Mutual Black Network. This past season Harry was nearly invincible- he had 114 solo tackles, 41 assists and 30 quarterback sacks! Born in Florence, South Carolina, he starred at McClenaghan High School there before his move on to South Carolina State.
Because of his great speed for a big man (4.8 in the 40), the Giants have projected Carson as a linebacker and will try him both in the middle and on the outside when he gets to training camp. Carson also got top ratings for his leadership abilities at SCS and can be of additional value as a special teams player."
